The Hall of Justice…
Several jaws dropped at what the woman standing in front of them had just said.
“Dr. Light was a monster. Inhuman. Death doesn’t even come close to what he deserved.” the heroine said without blinking.
“You?” gasped Stellar.
“I can’t believe it!” uttered Black Orchid.
All eyes were on Lady Light, not quite sure how to react at her statement. All of the Titans started talking at once.
“ORDER! ORDER!!!!” Power Guy shouted so loudly that Hawkgirl swore she saw the walls of the Hall of Justice sway.
The Titans all quieted down. Nightvision said, “Lady Light, as much as it pains me I have to…..”
“Yes, you certainly do!” came a booming female voice.
“Amanda Waller. This has officially just turned into the worst day in Titans history.” sighed Power Lad.
“I knew this would happen! I knew it! A team full of killers!” the boisterous stout woman shouted as she glanced at Jemstone. “First Toyman and now Dr. Light.”
“What are you even doing here!?” Dark Arrow demanded. “This is Titans business, PRIVATE business.”
“Not quite Bow Boy. Light had a family. A family demanding answers. I intend to see they get the information they seek and that Arthur Light’s killer is brought to justice.” Amanda huffed.
Lady Light’s eyes met with the women who had shared the horrific experience with her.
“Look lady, you weren’t there. From what I heard Dr. Light got exactly what he deserved!” Black Vulcan shouted.
“Yeah! What about justice for Trickshot!?” The Flash added.
“Look. I heard about what happened to Trickshot. No woman should have to endure what that man did to her. But we have laws….laws that would have made him pay. When you take justice into your own hands, you might as well sign up for the Legion of Doom.” Amanda said with a frown.
“I am surprised at you Miss Waller. I would expect more sympathy from a woman.” Isis said, narrowing her eyes.
“Look honey, you don’t how it is here. You come from a country where women can’t even show their ankles.” Amanda responded.
“Foolish cow! Our country is very different than it used to be. Women have as many rights as men…and are treated as equals. What that man, and I use the term loosely, did was unforgivable. If I had been there I would have ripped him apart myself.” Black Adam said, placing his arm around his wife.
“I was there. It was self defense.” Sargona smirked at Waller. “She had no choice.”
“IF, that is the case Lady Light has nothing to worry about.” Amanda said, placing her hands on her hips.
“Yeah, we all were there. We back Lady Light 100%. Dr. Light was still threatening us!” Jemstone urged.
“Ladies. You know that’s not true. I….I heard you say he had stopped fighting….that it was murder.” Nightvision said as he took a deep breath. Huntress stared at him, not knowing how to react.
“Then it’s decided. Lady Light come with me. If you resist, I have military back up waiting to pick this place apart.” Amanda Waller said.
“NO! This isn’t right!” Phantom Lady cried out. Many of the Titans agreed as their voices got louder.
“Please….don’t make this harder than it is. I admitted to the crime. Now, I must face the consequences.” Lady Light said. “Ms. Waller, please escort me out.”
Amanda Waller smiled and placed handcuffs on Lady Light. “Just a precaution, dearie.” She then walked out with Lady Light, turning to smirk at Black Vulcan and Jemstone.
“What the hell is your problem, Nightvision? We could have handled this internally!” Hawkgirl demanded swinging a fist at the son of Nightwing. “Why did you let them take her you son of a- - - “
Nightvision stopped her fist in mid-air. “Because, Hawkgirl. Because when I chose this life for myself I promised to uphold the law. No matter if I personally disagreed with it or not. The law applies and protects everyone. Even those who don’t deserve it.”
“AGH!!!! MEN!!!!!!! I need some air!” Hawkgirl huffed as she stormed out.
Everyone was silent. The meeting was adjourned and many of the Titans left stunned.
“Didi, how did we end up like this?” Green Lantern asked as he hugged Sonic Boom.
“I don’t know. I don’t know.“ her mouth tightening, trying not to cry.
Black Adam and Isis walked over to Wonder Man and Jemstone. In spite of what was happening, they wanted to congratulate the duo on their announcement.
“Best wishes, Wonder Man. May you and your beloved know as much joy as Isis and I.” Black Adam said with an uncharacteristic smile.
“Thanks Adam.”
Isis hugged Jemstone. “Anything you need, please let me know. I think with all that’s going on a wedding is just what the team needs to unite us in your happiness.”
Jemstone hugged her back. “Thanks Isis, I needed to hear that.”
Huntress followed Nightvision to the roof of the Hall of Justice. He was seated on the edge, watching the sunset.
“Need a friend?” she asked.
“Sort of.” he huffed. “Helena, you understand, don’t you?”
“I do. As much as I want to not have to face it, I do understand. Dad would as well.”
“I’m glad. If you killed Dr. Light, I’d have to see that justice was served too.”
Huntress was taken aback, but knew how strongly Nightvision felt about upholding the law.
‘I wouldn’t expect anything less, Brendon. Mind if I sit with you for awhile?”
“Not at all.” he said with a blank stare.
Inside the hall, Sargona was having a fit.
‘I won’t stand for it! Do you hear me! I’m marching down to Ms. Waller’s Mego set headquarters and tell that fat cow what I think of her!”
“Sar, we all would but it’s not our place.” Green Lantern said trying to calm the sorceress down.
“How can you be so calm!? Lian is practically family to you! Oh barf, don’t tell me you agree with Nightvision?” she yelled.
“I….I hate what happened to Lian.” he started.
Sonic Boom perked up and listened to what Green Lantern was about to say.
“But, it’s true. We aren’t judge, jury, and executioner. God is the only One who can judge us---Dr. Light and Lady Light.”
“Don’t you even say both of their names in the same sentence!!” Sargona hissed.
“Dan, I’m surprised. I thought you would be on our--on Lady Light’s side.” Sonic Boom said, taking a step away from Green Lantern.
“I am Didi, but---”
“Dan, I think I need to visit my Uncle Roy.” she said walking off.
“I’ll take you. With the ring we can be there in minutes.”
“No. No, I’d rather go alone.” she said as she turned and walked away.
“Good for you Didi!” Sargona clapped. “Well, I for one am not just going to sit here crying about this. I’m going to assemble the best lawyers I can find to help Lady Light!”
“Count me in!” Black Vulcan said.
“Me too!” Phantom Lady replied.
Green Lantern stood alone as Wonder Man walked over to him.
“Don’t sweat it dude, Sonic Boom’s just upset.” he said placing a hand on his teammate’s shoulder.
“Thanks Scott. Jerrica seems to be taking this all in stride.”
“Well, she didn’t actually see the rape. She along with Helena were knocked out when it happened.”
“But she saw Lady Light kill Dr. Light.”
“I guess so. She hasn’t said much about it. Look, I have a question for you.”
“Ok.”
“Well…..would you consider officiating at our wedding? Granted I don’t go to church all the time, but I do believe.” the olive skinned man smiled sheepishly.
“Scott….I…I’d be honored. I had no idea. I mean, I thought there would be a ceremony on Paradise Island….honoring the Olympian Gods.”
“Oh, there will be….mainly for traditions sake, but it’s private. Just my family and Jerrica’s sister. The gods give my family our powers, but I grew up part of the time in the good ol’ U S of A. Grandpa and Grandma Trevor took me to church every time the doors were open. I believe in your God…well, He’s mine too.”
“I never knew….”
“Hey, I’m more than just a pretty face you know, haha!” Wonder Man said as he walked over to Jemstone and the two of them flew off together.

The next day…..the Hall of Justice
“Dude, can you freaking believe it?” Power Lad said as he lifted a slice of pizza out of a box.
“Barely. A hot fox marrying that douche Wonder Man. Such a waste.” Arachnid replied.
“Not that, knuckle head. I mean about Lady Light.”
“Oh that. Yeah, she never struck me as the violent type.”
“Extenuating circumstances and all, I suppose.”
“Hi boys.” came a female voice. It was Totem along with Wonder Girl.
The four young heroes chatted for a bit and the topic of the day came up.
“I guess I’m still adjusting to the laws of this earth, but stuff like that happened all the time back home.” Wonder Girl said, popping her gum. “So what if Lady Light offed a big bad?”
“We can’t just go around killing people, even if they have done horrible things.” Totem replied. “As a woman, I agree with what Lady Light did. I mean, we weren’t there, we didn’t see what the others saw, but I think Nightvision is right. We are supposed to set an example for everyone.”
“Smart and a total babe.” Arachnid replied.
Just as the Super-Friends were about to play a video game, Lady Light entered the hall. She was escorted by an armed detail of soldiers.
“Lady Light! Are you free? Did they clear you of the trumped up B.S.” Wonder Girl said.
“Yeah, are you getting a medal for taking out that jerk?” Arachnid asked.
“Not quite children.” Lady Light said quietly.
“What’s going on? Why are these guards with you?” Power Lad asked, not approving of the authoritative stances of the guards.
“I’m here to collect my things. I’m being deported to Japan.” Lady Light sighed.
